>>3014>Can confirm. A lot more hacktivists (or at least skiddies) are more post-left illegalism types than MLs. But then, that's a gross generalization too, I'm sure there's a few great tankie haxxors.Marxist-Leninists place a tremendous emphasis on meeting people where they at and attaching themselves to popular struggle, building a mass movement through the good deeds of working with others. The emphasis is on building a movement through material means. Hacktivism is just a grouping of related tricks and tactics conducive in bringing down information systems, but these tactics are not conducive in building a mass movement. It's like talking about the use of rifles as if they alone, without theory and material analysis, would be capable of bringing about communism.
No.12572
>>3026>>3029Both of these posts completely miss the point of building a mass movement. The technology you use DOES NOT MATTER. "The Capitalists will sell us the rope that we will hang them with." - Lenin
THIS BEING SAID:
Use whatever technology is useful for whatever direct action is necessary, but seriously do not overthink this shit. Revolutionary orgs will use Signal or PGP or ProtonMail but I guarantee none of them are such fucking nerds that they would demand their members use GNU/Linux and learn proper network administration.

No.12610
>>12602Take a step back from your perspective as someone whose been using IRC for 20 years and think about the average person (even the average technically apt person).
Matrix is easier to use than IRC, like objectively.
And yes, it is safer. Not the perfect security tech, but its better than the… lets see… NO ENCRYPTION and no security that IRC offers.
No.12611
>>12610>all IRC is clear textMany IRC servers allow connecting over SSL/TLS on port 6697. Authentication may be done using nickserv, optionally using SASL. For reference see
https://freenode.com/kb/all for reference.
There is also work being done on a decentralized chat protocol with strong encryption resembling a subset of IRC http://pest.bitdash.io/ No.12612
>>12611TLS is very weak in comparison to the encryption on secured Matrix rooms. The older chat protocol that is up to par with Matrix on this is XMPP with specifically OMEMO, but IRC with TLS is way weaker to be quite clear.

>>12610element is kinda janky, and the matrix bullshit about your keys every time you log out basically makes it impossible to have multiple accounts (tho i think i saw a thing that advertized u could be logged in to multiple acconts at the same, time, idk if nheko or some cli matrix bullshit)
i used to use it n got all my anarchist friends to use it, but its just not that great
i use xmpp now p much exclusively and i dont get the hype of matrix when this shit has existed forever lmao. Shit's more polished (not shiny, but works well and is stable), and you can use it over tor easily so wtf matrix??
the only thing is that omemo might not work in mucs? or is difficult at least? idk

If people are serious there are various IRC servers with .onions but people here are clearly not serious. they like the idea of hacktivism, the nostalgia of anonops perhaps, not the reality of doing the work.

No.18818
>>18817NTA, but i looked into irc and there are several lightweight, relatively simple to configure daemons.
For something like this you could host a tor hidden service at home. Such a setup is vulnerable to traffic correlation with your regular internet activity if you don't set bandwith caps on everything, but personally i think paying for a server is a far greater liability.

No.18839
>>18829contracts aren't a thing for any servers i've rented, you just pay and get access. They ask for PII but you just feed fake shit… on the other points, its basically one point? That the company owns the computer and can see everything that goes on in the server on it. That's fair, but isn't it best practice anyways to not say anything personally incriminating and assume you're being watched, because you don't know who other anons are or if they'll snitch eventually? So it's not like much is lost there. If they decide to take a chat down, we have backup communication here on leftypol and could just spin up another server. Subpeonas typically take a while to serve too if the gov was really involved, so it would be more of a cat and mouse thing than crippling to communication. Not that we'd get that kind of attention most likely. And encrypted communication is always better.
But fr i dont think those worries are well-founded
